-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, here are a couple of tips for installing speakup on gentoo. I recommend using at least gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r4. There was a bug fixed in version 2.6.24.4 of the linux kernel which affects speakup, and that is the version of the kernel in this package. Once this package is emerged, make sure that /usr/src/linux points to the new kernel. If you have symlink in your use flags, this will be taken care of automatically when you emerge gentoo-sources; otherwise, you will have to fix it manually. After you have the kernel installed and the /usr/src/linux symlink set up, just follow the instructions in the INSTALLATION document in the speakup git repository. I recommend making sure that the /usr/src/linux symlink is set up because that is the default where speakup will be installed if you run speakup's install script without arguments. The install script creates a log in the current directory when it runs. If you have any issues with the script, it would be a good idea to post the log so we can see the output you are getting.
